Reply to "Introduce Yourself!"

Hi everyone,

I am a new Knowledge Broker with EENet, and I am looking forward to connecting with all of the diverse people on this platform. I have both a health policy/stakeholder engagement background, and lived experience with mental illness, so I look forward to hearing the different perspectives and ideas shared on EENetConnect.

I am passionate about reducing the stigma of mental illness and addictions, and I try and create space for conversations whenever I can. It is still amazing to me how quiet people get when you talk about mental illness or about struggling with your mental health. I hope that one day things will change and people will feel as comfortable talking about mental illness as they do about diabetes (which I was diagnosed with when I was 11 )

If you ever want to talk about your experience, struggles, successes or anything else, feel free to message me!

Thanks,

Rebecca
